Kanu<\/a> has been in DSS custody since his arrest and extradition from Kenya to Nigeria in June 2021.<\/p>\nHe is on trial for treasonable felony.<\/p>\n
In July, the United Nation Human Rights Council Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, in a 16-page report, had reportedly indicted both Nigeria and Kenya governments for the arrest, torture and continued detention of the IPOB leader.<\/p>\n
The group also urged the federal government to ensure the \u201cimmediate release of Kanu unconditionally\u201d and pay him adequate compensations for the arbitrary violation of his fundamental human rights.<\/p>\n
In a letter on Monday, Ozekhome asked Buhari to order Kanu\u2019s immediate release through a more productive \u201cpolitical solution\u201d.<\/p>\n
Ozekhome said Buhari can order Kanu\u2019s release in line with section 174, which gives the attorney-general of the federation (AGF) powers to \u201cdiscontinue at any stage before judgement is delivered any such criminal proceedings instituted or undertaken by him or any other authority or person\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can do this by instructing the Honourable Attorney-General of the Federation to wield his powers under section 174 of the 1999 Constitution to enter a \u201cnolle prosequi\u201d. This will immediately halt the present restlessness and sits-at-home mantra currently ravaging the South East and paralysing business and normal life,\u201d Ozekhome said.<\/p>\n
While noting that Kanu\u2019s extradition was carried out \u201cillegally\u201d and \u201carbitrarily without due process\u201d, the senior lawyer said a \u201cdispassionate consideration of the Report of the UN body will bear eloquent testimony to a litany of grave errors which Kanu\u2019s abduction, and his continued detention and shabby treatment since then by officers and men of the Nigerian SSS, constitute\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll these cumulatively constitute, not only gross violation of our client\u2019s fundamental rights under international and Nigerian laws, but, even more worrisome, cast an altogether avoidable pall on Nigeria\u2019s image in the international community,\u201d the letter reads.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo refuse releasing Kanu unconditionally and immediately is to court international displeasure and multi-faceted backlash. It will hurt Nigeria badly as it will also insinuate that your Excellency does not subscribe to the Rule of law and respect for citizens\u2019 fundamental rights, and your postulations of the just ended United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) which took place between 20th and 23rd September, 2022.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour Excellency must avoid these unhealthy reactions by ensuring that Kanu is released immediately and unconditionally now.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe moral burden of insisting on keeping Kanu in detention is too expensive and too offensive to embrace, especially with his fragile and deteriorating health condition which his custodians (the SSS) have not been able to manage properly. Do not let Kanu die in detention sir.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ozekhome also said Buhari would be writing his name in gold by ensuring the release of the detained IPOB leader.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour Excellency, the whole world has spoken through the UN Human Rights Committee. The message is quite clear: Nnamdi Kanu must be released forthwith \u2013 unconditionally. To insist on detaining him in defiance of the world would be at a great price which is better avoided,\u201d the letter reads.<\/p>\n
\u201cSuffice it to say, your Excellency that, just like in the earlier case of Umaru Dikko, your government risks turning Nigeria, once again, into a Pariah State, simply on account of this avoidable conundrum.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour Excellency, if the case of Mr. Dikko was understandable because it was carried out by a military regime, that of Nnamdi Kanu is inexplicable and unjustifiable under a democratic government headed by your good self and which operates under a written Constitution that guarantees fundamental rights, the rule of law and the enforcement of duly-ratified international treaties.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe foregoing narrative clearly shows that this is the case with the relevant treaties under which the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention issued its binding directive for the immediate and unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour Excellency, I am not aware of any State which has defied or disobeyed such a directive without paying a national heavy price. Nigeria should not be the first member of that \u201cHall of Infamy\u201d reserved only for pariah nations. That would be another blot on Nigeria\u2019s image.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe situation is however not irredeemable, as your Excellency can yet redeem it; and write your name in gold by ordering the immediate and unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu from his present excruciating detention as ordered by the United Nations, through its Working Group on Arbitrary Detention.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
